might see some of you about sometime.

have fun.
The Sv thou was seriously castrasted after the TL, so you may be disappointed anyway. Cagiva Raptors can go cheap and I believe they have the TL motor. Just hope your mates don't see you riding it!

Raptor is a TLs motor, they do go cheap. Better than an SV thou any day...but of course I'd say that

love the looks of the raptor. the twin cans are seriously cool.
just the riding position its a bit weird.
feels a bit awkward.
